I have recently been hearing about a documentary by Ben Stein called 'Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed'. It focuses on how Darwinian Evolution is being taught as fact, and dissension by people who even want to discuss the POSSIBILITY of creation are silenced, run out of universities and trampled by their 'peers'. It's amazing that college used to teach people how to think, now it teaches people what to think, and what it is teaching is in most cases far-left doctrine. The trailer mentions how the greatest minds in science, from Galileo to Einstein and even Darwin operated with some belief in a creator. It is hard to believe that the universe was not created, given the mathematical precision required for the universe to exist as it does.
But Darwinian Evolution as is taught in schools, silences all dissenting views, (much like climate change) and threatens dissenters with firing, failing, criticism and ridicule, all to promote a secular progressive agenda, eroding free speech. What is sad is that the argument FOR Darwinian Evolution has MANY holes in it. It is shaky at best, unlikely and in many cases unbelievable. Yet most of those who believe in creation, do not want to silence those who believe in evolution. In fact many believe (as I do) that evolution has had a significant effect on life as we know it today. Without evolution, plants, animals and microorganisms would not be able to adapt to an ever-changing planet. I believe that not only are the organisms evolving, but so is the planet, the solar system and the universe. I see it as part of an incredibly designed system. God knows what He is doing.
"This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself" (Isaiah 44:24)
God created all things, and if you don't believe that, it is your right to disagree here in the United States of America. However, those who disagree with me, DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT to silence anyone. You can disagree, that is what America is about. America is about freedom. Let's stop being like those dictatorships that we have been fighting for hundreds of years, and start standing up for freedom again. Let's stand up for our own freedoms, AND the freedoms of those we disagree with.
